AVFC44 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 To be fair I only left Adama out because he seems to be made of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agbonlahor is more direct and more of a natural striker who can also play wide and fits in better with the other forwards I chose. He is the least natural striker I've seen in my life.

VillaChris Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Kozak and Gabby ahead of Ayew. I'm still expecting 3-4 new signings. The thing people are missing is say we have a poor start or dodgy run of 1 win in 7 or whatever...can you imagine the reaction of VP if likes of Bacuna, Richards and Gabby are still featuring regularly. We need unity from the stands and pitch and I just don't see how we can achieve that massively relying on last seasons failures and thinking they'll magically be brilliant just because we've dropped down a level. Much rather we get in players with a clean slate for people to get behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Fans will certainly get behind the new signings, whoever we'll bring in and also imo likes of Adama, Grealish, Ayew, Gana and Amavi, some of those showed a bit last season and the first two barely played after xmas. Just don't see it if some of last seasons boo boys are in, VP will be like a volcano ready to go off. We won't be winning every game in this division that's for sure.

I stopped watching last season when Eric Black was appointed because I knew he would be a disaster. Looking at the teams he selected I see Veretout, Gestede, Lescott, Clark on the bench, Gil on the bench, Richards at RB, no Traore and Ayew as the main striker. That is nothing like the team I selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why we are signing another DM. The 2nd team was based on Gana and Tshibola playing more attacking roles. Gana drives forward with the ball well at times and I think he is capable of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no thinking outside the box there - it's just a team of the same players from last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The only way it's thinking outside the box is if the box is still inside the old box or made out of the same cardboard as the original box, effectively making it the same box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
